NHTSA Complaint #10239850 — 2007 LEXUS LS 460

THE COMPLAINT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AN ACCIDENT BUT THE POOR WEAR OF DUNLOP SP SPORT MAXX TIRES. I HAVE A 2007 LEXUS LS460 AND THE FRONT TIRE/DRIVER SIDE BLEW OUT. I REPLACED IT WITH THE SPARE TIRE AND WITHIN TWO WEEKS MY WIFE WENT TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED FOR AN OIL CHANGE. IT WAS BROUGHT AND SHOWN TO HER ATTENTION THAT ALL OF THE TIRES ON THE CAR ARE WEARING POORLY. THIS CAR HAS ONLY 22520 MILES ON IT AND TO HAVE TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES FROM THE TIME OF PURCHASE BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF DUNLOPS MANUFACTURING IS A DISGRACE. I AM REPORTING THIS IN ORDER TO HAVE THIS RESEARCHED AND HOPING FOR SOME ANSWERS AND/OR COMPENSATION. IF NOT, I WILL HAVE TO GO FURTHER TO GET SOME TYPE OF RESOLUTION. MY WIFE WAS LUCKY NOT TO HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. SHE WAS DEFINITELY INFORMED THAT SHE NEEDS TO REPLACE THESE TIRES BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE VERY LONG WITH THE TIRES CONDITION. EVEN THE SPARE THAT WAS PLACED ON THE CAR AND DRIVEN FOR TWO WEEKS IS STARTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE MANUFACTURING OF THE TIRES AND WOULD LIKE VERY MUCH TO GET SOME ANSWERS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
